Cheese began to observe Iron Whistle carefully again.
Most of the time, Iron Whistle remained motionless—Of course, Cheese couldn’t see Iron Whistle often.
Cheese didn’t find an effective way to communicate with Iron Whistle yet—because Iron Whistle couldn’t speak.
But, he thought that Iron Whistle could understand what he said. Although, they usually met at night.
At night, Cheese would always come out quietly after getting everything done at home—The cement pipe on the empty floor before the basement had already become the secret base for them.
“Iron Whistle, where do you live?”
“Iron Whistle, where would you go during the day? Do you always hide here?”
“Iron Whistle, where are you from? Why you look so weird? Where is your family?”
Cheese had so many questions.
These days, He had asked all the questions that he could think of — Of course, he didn’t get any reply.
But the wonderful thing was that this unanswered question didn’t make Cheese depressed; instead, he got more curious about Iron Whistle.
Where did he come from?
Why did he save him?
It seemed that he had some connection with the iron whistle—Was that a coincidence?
“By the way, don’t you eat anything?” Cheese asked Iron Whistle suddenly.
He didn’t see Iron Whistle eat anything else since he saw him swallowing the rat monster on the ground of the warehouse underground a few days ago.
Of course, maybe Iron Whistle had eaten something during the day when he wasn’t watching.
Cheese was scared about the scene that day at first, but later, he found that he was not quite afraid of it anymore—Maybe, it was because he was also a monster.
From a young age, the little mouse monster Cheese had known from Shu You about the fights in the monster’s world. He had an unexpected ability to accept such things.
Or maybe he believed subconsciously that Iron Whistle would not hurt him?
“Do you want to have a taste of this?”
Cheese took out some jerky from his bag and tried to put it in front of Iron Whistle.
But Iron Whistle just stared at Cheese’s movement, without any response… No, in fact, Iron Whistle had given a response, Cheese just didn’t know it.
Iron Whistle’s tail was moving slowly on the ground… It moved to the back of Cheese, then raised up quietly.
At the same time, there was a steel-like slender thing emerging from the end of the tail suddenly… which looked like a scorpion’s tail!
This small sharp needle came close to the back of Cheese little by little.
“It seems you don’t like eating these.” Cheese took back the jerky with disappointment. Then he held his face with hands, looking at Iron Whistle carefully again.
The needle was getting closer and closer… the scorpion’s tail.
Just at this moment, Iron Whistle blinked his eyes quickly and sent out a clear sound, like the sound of a small stone hitting the cement road.
Cheese felt something behind him, so he turned his head subconsciously. Just at this moment, his eyes blurred, only seeing a long thick thing suddenly shooting out from the black shadows to the outside of the cement pipe!
Iron Whistle’s tail got longer in an instant. It became much longer than it originally looked like! Iron Whistle actually had such ability. Cheese couldn’t help but marvel!
Then, Iron Whistle took back his tail.
A black wild cat was caught on the end of the nail. Its body had completely become stiff, and at the same time, Cheese found a small thing on Iron Whistle’s tail piercing into the body of the wild cat.
Iron Whistle began eating the wild cat he caught at a super speed.
“It seems you like eat such things?” As a rat monster, Cheese only felt surprised about it as he had no good impression of cats—He also ate wild cat before.
Of course, that was the kind of stray cat that died of starving on the street… Shu You often brought such ‘delicious food’ home, and the whole family would have a good meal happily.
“Oh, it’s time for my mother to get up, I have to go back now.” Cheese took a look at the watch, and then climbed out from the cement pipe, “Iron Whistle, I will come here to see you tomorrow!”
Iron Whistle didn’t seem to hear it, it was just biting the fresh meat little by little…
Maybe, it was not enough.
…
…
The dinner went on from 7p.m. to 9:30p.m. No one got drunk except Ren Ziling herself. She laid on the table while snoring.
Subeditor Ren didn’t know that she was the only ordinary person among them. She had thought that she was the best drinker here.
“Sister Ren also ordered a room here for you!”
When Luo Qiu was taking care of Ren Ziling expressionlessly, Lizi said something quietly beside Luo Qiu’s ear that he considered unreasonable but expected.
The girl Lui Yiyun sitting beside had heard Lizi’s words… She had a better auditory senses compared to an ordinary person.
As for her eyesight, it was also better than an ordinary person… Upon feeling the sight of Luo Qiu on her, Lui Yiyun quickly turned to look around the high-end restaurant.
But later, she found that there was nothing to look at. Then, she smiled… ordered a room? Even a little girl knew what that was for.
Sure enough, she still a little shy and her ears suddenly turned red.
“I remember that university has a curfew. You should not be able to go back to the dormitory at this time.” Luo Qiu said suddenly.
Lui Yiyun gave a start… This was really a problem. As a student from a small village, she had surely chosen the common dormitory in university.
“Ah! My mistake! I was too happy and forgot to check the time!” Lui Yiyun asked in a hurry, “Em… can I get back in time now?”
“Probably not.” Luo Qiu shook his head, said calmly, “Anyway the room has been ordered and you just stay here for tonight.”
Lui Yiyun hesitated, and she said subconsciously, “But, is this the room that Sister Ren…”
After all, the little girl was still a little shy so that she couldn’t say the words like ordering a room.
But Luo Qiu who become the club boss for some time had already known how to handle such cases well.
“That’s okay, you just take it as a kind of apology for her calling you here but getting herself totally drunk instead.” Luo Qiu said slightly, “Don’t worry, it won;t matter to stay here for a night.”
“Fine… Then, alright.”
The little girl finally followed the mysterious young man’s words and she also tried to accept the advice of this young man.
The little girl thought it a kind of wonderful trust.
Because for so many years, he was the only one that would approach her grandfather who had lost his memory and the only one who would sit quietly next to his grandfather, accompanying him to watch the sea, and draw a picture.
And the only one who gave her a blue star flower.
These were all things that she deserved to remember for a lifetime.
…
When the little girl and Luo Qiu were about to separate at the elevator, Lui Yiyun suddenly grabbed a corner of her skirt and shouted when the elevator door was about to close, “Next time, next time… When you come to the beach again on winter vacation, I will entertain you well!”
She was uneasy, looking at the elevator door closing and Luo Qiu smiling and nodding at her in the elevator… until the door was finally shut.
The little girl turned back, leaning against the wall, and then gently covered her chest.
‘My heartbeat is so fast!’
